Wallace Wallace always tells the truth, and he is tired of reading books about dogs who die in the end. So when he has to write a review of Old Shep, My Pal for English class, he lets the teacher know exactly what he thinks. Unfortunately, Old Shep is the teacher's favorite book, so he doesn't take Wallace's negative review very well. Too stubborn to say anything nice about the book he hates, Wallace ends up in detention for months, which leads to his unwilling involvement in the drama club's adaptation of Old Shep.
This book is full of unique characters with great voices, a fact the audiobook version we listened to yesterday took advantage of by having different readers perform each of the four narrators' parts.
